Ok.

The brokenness here is that the binding document states one thing, and
drivers do precisely the opposite.

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/primecell.txt states:

- clocks : From common clock binding. First clock is phandle to clock for apb
	pclk. Additional clocks are optional and specific to those peripherals.
- clock-names : From common clock binding. Shall be "apb_pclk" for first clock.

Yet as you've pointed out above we don't care which index apb_pblk is,
but do for the other clock, which we get at index 0 (where the binding
doc states apb_pclk should be).

If all users are doing that currently, it's possible to fix up the
binding document. If not, then it's a mess that can't be corrected...

Thanks,
Mark.
